It's not.
I had one guy I was going to buy two pairs from, then decided against it, bought a different pair and found out that 39 was too small for me, sold them, then ended up with another pair that I thought was supposed to be a 40, so sold them too. They're out there.

Do any of your Achilles not have a clear gold stamp? All my past ones have been super clear, but a recent pair I got, has like minor specks all around the stamp like it wasn't put on precise. It's almost like it's smeared.

**Also, when do summer achilles usually go on sale?

Might be due to rubbing in the box, or cloth. No major cause for concern.

The summer achilles are on ssense & nittygrittystore.

Yeah I know that's where you find them, I'm wondering when they will go on sale. I'm not paying $400 for CP's.

They won't be going on sale for several months. AFAIK, S/S just rolled out a couple weeks ago

BTW, size-41 CPs are among the hardest to find on discount. Your best bet might be to just use a good coupon code

I own 4 pair of CP's and made the mistake of paying retail once, all others have been bought at a discount. Nearly ALL styles go on sale at some point, or at least check the site you want for coupon codes. Ssense and Revolve have pairs I like now, going to sleep on them till they go on sale, which they will.

Sort of true, but size 41 Mid Achilles are an absolute nightmare to find.
